In that situation I usually have some good back-and-forth conversation to at least get a feel. I would never send cash for them to get an Uber but I have on occasion sent an Uber to pick her up and meet me at a restaurant. It takes some trust on both parts and at least the most I can lose is a couple of bucks for a canceled Uber ride. Personally I think it might be a little too creepy to offer to pick her up the first time. If drinks / dinner go well typically we will go back to my place and then Uber her home. For me, a lot of this comes down to making sure she at least has some kind of a decent head on her shoulders. Anytime I've skipped that due diligence vetting I've ended up with some version of a desperate crackhead.
[QUOTE=JDRedBull;6150101]I hear this all the time. First if they don't at least have a car or even host and they 25 and up. They tend to be desperate. Which might be a good thing. I am sure some are legit. But the ones with car problems or can't drive. Seem to be the most trouble. If they won't let me pick them up, I don't bother with them. One girl was really hot was willing to meet up for like 2. For atleast 2 and a half weeks. I tried to pick her up. But she would say she fell asleep or her phone only has wifi and she was confused as to the time and place. So later she asked me to send her money for uber. I told her I don't have the Uber app or wanted on my phone and that I would reimburse her. But she said no. So I just gave up and move on and met a girl with her own spot.[/QUOTE]
